[All Alone] Levi x Reader Zombie Apocalypse

His Determination [14]

Levi's Pov

300 rounds into the fight I felt my ammo running out. "Mike. You take Ymir, Sasha, and Eld to the north of the hoard. " He nodded and they quickly set off.

"Hanji. You've got Connie, Krista, Mikasa, and Oulo to the south." Not a second passed and They were off.

"Gunther, Marco, Eren, and Jack are with me. The goal is the clock tower. Do not break formation under any circumstances!"

I clasped my axe and pipe as I prepared to fight. My allies not hesitant as we set off into battle, weapons raised. "Forward!"

Slashing down beast after beast, we stormed our way to the cemetery. The adrenaline I had been seeking collided with worry and fear.

What if I don't make it in time?..

Blood covered my body. Blood from those freaks. 

What if I can't save her this time?..

"Captain! We're being over powered!"  My eyes flew back to look at Gunther and Eren, who were both running on fumes. The loud creak of the clocktower caught everyone's attention.

What if I lose her for real?..

"Make a break for it! Everyone fight to your full potential! We can do it!" A rush of energy chased all of my fatigue away. It was a race between me and them.

I can't let that happen.

The mossy stone bricks that were cemented firmly to the Earth rose centimeters off the ground as the weight of hundreds of z's bulldozed through the forest.

A cry for help at the top of the tower. Yellow swayed with h/c in the wind. Armin held Y/n tightly as the tower began collapsing.

I won't allow her to die.

With her safety clouding my mind, I pushed into the clearing. Jack, Marco and Eren arrived right behind me. Gunther cut down a few more before joining the group.

"L/n and Arlert are at the top of that tower. Their safety is our top priority.

The swarm never stopped as they pushed us closer and closer to the tower. Dangerously low on morale, we wouldn't make it.

The wind swept through with the scent of blood and rot, carried with it, a sprinkle of hope in the form of salty tears.

"I believe in you, Levi!"  Her tears. They bring me sadness and pain. I understand completely. I can't let her die because..

..I don't want to be all alone again.

The hinges spung out of the concrete. Panic spread through all of us. All but the undead. The tower crashed down at us. I clenched my fists. "Everyone! Aim for a window! Gunther! You get Arlert!"

If the precision was off just barely... If we jumped a little to early or late.. If we were centimeters to left.. If we died here.. Everything would be a waste.

Her messy hair flowed rapidly in the wind as she came rushing towards me. "Almost.."  Her heart rate accelerating towards the sky.

"And.."  I bent my knees, no weapons in hand as the z's grabbed towards me. A single tear flew behind her as I jumped. "Now!"

Mossy stone collided with the unforgiving land as it shattered to rubble. 5 figures emerged in the gap. The dust flowing behind them like invisble capes.

A soft hand caressed my jaw as I gasped for air. E/c hues shimmered on her rosy tear-stained cheeks. A hand on her arm quickly alerted me as I pulled out my hidden revolver and shot the milky-eyed creature.

Newfound adrenaline burst through my veins as I held her as close as I could to my racing heartbeat.

"Fall back! Mission was a success!"

Turning on our heals, those not carrying the injured, guarded/lead us to the east.

"Arlert and L/n should be arriving at the infirmary any second now. Does that ease your worry?" 

Shitty glasses leaned back on the fence as the hundreds on them growled at us, hungry for our flesh. "Tch. I could care less about that brat."  She inched closer. "Which brat? I presume Y/n?" 

"She's just another-"  "You can't lie to me Levi."  My eyes darted to hers. A sweet smile was shared from the heart.

"I know you are dying to see her, so go. I'll handle cleanup. You go see your girl. "

For once in the 12 years I've known her, this is the only time I've ever smiled back. "Thank you, Hanji."

And with those final words, I ran to her. I wanted to be by her side forever. Is that to much to ask for?

3rd Person Pov

A single tear trailed down his cheek as he gazed upon her battered body. Exhaustion was clear on her features. He clasped her left hand in both of his.

"Y/n.. I know you can't hear me.. and I'm kind of glad.. I'm sorry for letting them get that close to you."

I clenched my hands firmly around her's.  "I-If I had been...... If I would have lost you.. I could never forgive myself. It's embedded in my heart to protect you at all costs. I will keep you safe, even at the cost of my own life."

"Y/n.. You mean everything to me. I think I've fallen for you.."

Gazing once more at her body, I stood from my seat, a sigh escaped my lips. "I'll be back in an hour to check on your recovery. Get some rest."

I stepped away from the bed to leave when a weak tug on the hem of my shirt stopped me.

My eyes trailed to her glassy eyes.  "Levi.. You came.. To visit me..." Fighting to keep her eyes open, she gasped to stay conscious.

"Levi.."  With no hesitation, my body moved to her side, my hand holding hers. "I'm here Y/n. I'm here for you."

A sweet smile graces her lips. "I.. I." Suddenly her eyes fluttered shut and the rhythmic breathing stopped.

Fear.

"Hanji! Krista!!!"
